Instructions:
1. Spray the Wiffle ball with primer and let it dry, then spray-paint it light blue or green to make it less conspicuous in the water. Store in an egg carton to dry.
2. Force the bottom of a bank sinker through a hole in the ball, leaving the attachment ring on the outside.
3. Cut a slit between two of the holes and insert two additional sinkers. Glue slit closed.
4 (Optional): Before gluing the slit shut, insert a piece of sponge. Then you can add fish scent for additional attraction.

Carefully glue the slit shut once all the sinkers are in place. Then fit the sinker snugly in the hole to ensure stability when rigging.Illustration by Steven Sanford
